- Cover photo description:
- The Alupka Palace, a masterpiece of the architecture of romanticism, was built for almost 20 years, from 1828 to 1848, by order of the powerful Governor-General of the Novorossiysk Territory, aristocrat and Angloman Count Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov. The count personally chose a place for his Crimean residence on a picturesque stone cape at the foot of Ai-Petri Mountain in the little-known Tatar village Alupka. The Englishman Edward Blor, the author of the castle of Walter Scott in Scotland, the court architect of the British crown, managed to integrate the palace building into the surrounding landscape. In the architecture of the Vorontsov Palace, Blor combined different styles - English, Neo-Moorish and Gothic, paying tribute to the secular fashion of that time on Walter Scott`s novels and oriental tales.
